Rosyjskie projekcje europeizmu a czynnik polski (od średniowiecza do epoki nacjonalizmów)

Drogi dziejowe Polaków i Rosjan ku Europie – od wspólnej przestrzeni geograficznej (jak ona przedstawiała się w czasach antycznych) do wspólnej przestrzeni cywilizacyjnej (która kształtowała się w miarę przyjmowania przez różne etnosy uniwersalnych wartości chrześcijaństwa) były zróżnicowane. Właśnie to wyznaczało swoistość zarówno ujmowania swojego uniwersum, jak i pojmowanie tożsamości własnej jako jego pochodnej, rzutując na wzajemne wyobrażenia o własnym sąsiedztwie.

Western ‘Eurasianism’ and the ‘New Eastern Europe’: Discourse of Exclusion*

There are no translations available.

The term ‘Eurasia’ has many meanings but all of them can be subsumed under two main rubrics. The first is purely geographical, referring to a formidable landmass stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific and considering Europe and Asia as a single continental entity, with a former as a peninsula of the latter. The second meaning is much more versatile but in all its multi-facet representations it refers typically to a Greater Russia, to some space dominated historically by the Russian Empire and its Soviet (and post-Soviet) reincarnation.

The poet Dmitry Prigov before and after the fall of the Soviet Union

There are no translations available.

The Russian poet and artist Dmitrij Prigov (1940-2007) dedicated his whole life to undermining Soviet propaganda, Soviet ideology and Soviet language. He deconstructed Russian culture in general, including Pushkin and Dostoevsky as well as the Russian avant-garde, in a similar manner. With his death a moment of closure was reached for an entire era of Russian culture as primarily characterized by settlements with Socialist Realism, Soviet language and Soviet propaganda.

Dyskurs europejski i poszukiwanie europejskiej tożsamości.

Jedną z głównych cech dzisiejszego "dyskursu europejskiego" są próby "identyfikacji" Europy dobrej i szlachetnej, takiej która mogłaby stanowić duchową podstawę nowego i (nie bójmy się tego słowa) postmodernistycznego systemu ekonomicznego opartego na konsumeryzmie, międzynarodowym kapitalizmie i pełnym zaufaniu do tego, co eufemistycznie nazywa się "wolnym rynkiem". To poszukiwanie Europy dobrej i szlachetnej, a zatem godnej zrodzić etos nowego rodzaju społeczeństwa (kulturalnego i demokratycznego zarazem, socjalistycznego i kapitalistycznego, chrześcijańskiego i humanistycznego, naukowego i pobożnego) umotywowane jest w znacznej mierze chęcią uwolnienia Europy ojców od brzemienia winy wynikającego ze świadomości, iż to "Europa" odpowiada za nowe formy społecznej przemocy powstałe w "podłym wieku dwudziestym " (termin Timothy Gartona Asha).

Central Europe as a Problem
There are no translations available.

Towards the end of the nineteenth century there appeared in Germany the idea of Mitteleuropa, a concept related in discursive terms to colonial expansionism, infamous in its intentions. It is worth recalling, however, that the word "colony" (and its derivatives) comes from the Latin colonia, where it meant: a peasant enclosure, a settlement, in order to enter later - via the French colon (one who tills the soil, a settler) - eighteenth-century European dictionaries in its current, rather pejorative, and in any case widely disputed meaning. In the discourse of colonial expansionism, however, it retained a certain heroic aura, since it preferred settlers to nomads, those who cultivated anything at all to ignoramuses. The Latin colonia coincides here with the closely related term "culture" (from the Latin cultus, meaning cultivation, husbandry, breeding) in its original, agricultural association with that which is stable,
